Oh Look, A Boat!
An inquisitive little mouse unwillingly finds himself in a drifting boat. A poetic and funny story.
"Oh, look, a boat!" says the mouse. Curious, he climbs on board. Is it a pirates’ ship? An explorers’ boat? As he wonders, the boat drifts. And it is too late to get off. The mouse faces a waterfall, the sea, a storm, the fog.... He passes islands, pirates, liners...
Finally, one day, the mouse finds himself back in front of his house. The refrain starts again for a humourous ending: Oh look, a boat! says a naive and inquisitive badger...
Each picture with its simple graphic style and different atmosphere is like a painting.
